    • Abstract:
      The article reports on the process developed by researchers at Stanford University to make chips and solar panels using gallium arsenide. It mentions efficiency of solar panels based on gallium arsenide at converting light to electricity and of chips based gallium arsenide in handling data at very high speed. Stanford professor Aneesh Nainani, also explains the manufacturing method that would allow gallium arsenide wafer to be reused 50 to 100 times given its high cost.
